Could you pm me the name of the DZ please? Just curious ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Aren't magnetic toggles an option? I've seen a couple of them on sigmas, may have been build by a rigger though ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Could you replicate the method of attachement and perhabs make a photo of it? I'd really like to see what the previous owner came up with and add it to my collection ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

I think he was talking about zp/ main canopy fabric ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Dude, there are some crazy vegetables and triple amputees out there rocking it. Do you think they can arch? How much time is 'some' tunnel work? A few minutes? If they didn't help you to improve, get another coach/ different tunnel more experienced with disabled firstflyers, book an hour and work from there. Go back to skydiving once you nailed a somewhat stable belly flying position and feel comfortable in the air. It just seems hard at the start... And yes, I know a few that failed more than one jump in their AFF progression. One is a tunnel coach now btw ;) ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Boring ;) First Jump, no tandem prior, no tunnel, relaxed freefall, stable and responding, pulled himself, tension knot, cutaway, kept both handles, landed on target, standup. 40 minutes later second jump. Another AFF (6. jump) student watched one of his instructors having a malfunction and cutaway. Fairly windy, canopy and freebag ended up somewhere 4 miles away from the lz in a 4 feet high corn field. He landed right next to the main and needed only 4 additional minutes to locate the freebag which he also had followed with his eyes under canopy. As nobody else saw the cutaway due to a long spot the canopy and freebag would have been lost. He was talked to and received additional training because of his intentional off landing. His level 7 jump and all his coaching jumps (5) where on the instructor that had the cutaway. ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

If you can't come up with several good reasons to have a working cypres/AAD under canopy by yourself, here are just two of many examples: http://www.deepseed.com/d-spot/blog/liam/inside-no-pull-cypres-save-0 https://jointheteem.com/sky/friday-freakout/friday-freakout-wingsuiter-uses-all-9-lives-saved-by-aad/ I'd consider a conservative 9 cell 120/135 loaded at 1.6 a reasonable choice for wingsuiting. And still I am fairly sure I'd trigger the wingsuit flight fire parameters on any given landing with a nice 270° ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Those who use it do so because they think it helps in preventing lineovers. If you leave the stearing and D lines exposed and push the nose in too much you have lines all spread out inside your packjob. This helps to keep them in place. ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

When I have to choose between the better product and better communication I know where my money goes. Never been much of a talker anyways ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Why would you want to pull the reserve out for a simple chest and leg strap replacement? That`s neither a moral nor a legal question, that`s a question about willingness to deal with the little extra work a packed reserve tray is going to add to basic harness work. ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Name of the manufacturer? ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

I have no problem to comprehend normal wingsuiting, Picking up a slick jumper is just completely out of their normal flying parameters and I hope you will agree. I don't want to get entertained by you, thanks. You made a statement about a move I thought to be extremely dangerous and nearly impossible due to my prior experiences with rodeos and I expressed my disbelief. I stand corrected, thank you =) I'm not your brah, dude I've been on a few rodeos myself and still wouldn't have thought this move to be possible in a more or less controlled manner... Every rodeo I've been on the WS flyer dissappeared in the sky when the rider fell off with no chance of keeping up, even if they tried. Seems to me there really is nothing a good arch can't fix I just wouldn't have thought it to be possible to shut the forward speed off nearly completely in a wingsuit the size of an Aura or basically any wingsuit that inflates while maintaining terminal velocity. The only way I'd have said it could work is headdown. I made a HD jump with some guys and a fairly competent ws flyer, flower exit, and took a dock on his rig when I got close to the formation. They released the grips and we where ripped appart. That's as close as I had imagined this move to be possible. ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

http://www.aircrew.eu/index.php/en/products maybe like this? ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Parazentrum Teuge I think, when you buy a ticket block, 12k ft. Jumping is generally pretty cheap in the Nederlands ^^ ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Show video or I call bullshit ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

This is the type of BS marketing that Airtec does. A teaser, with no real information, ... PD, NZ Aerosports, PF, Sfly, Atair, Liquidsky, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Hollywood... Nearly everybody is teasing a new product these days in the exact same way. Cypres is even one step ahead with a complete and ready full production version... Your criticisim is misplaced and downright wrong. ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Would saving the gear of every customer in a printable way be an option? For a rigger this form might be a bit unpractical to work with imo. I need place to write down what and where a repair is needed and how much time I estimate/needed for it to bill correctly later on. Sometimes the repairs on a main canopy take up half a sheet of A4 alone. Why not a form you can work with and that is equally suitable to give to customers? Double paperwork steals time and is unnescessary. Also what good is there in the customer knowing his/her main requires attention but not what kind of attention? Are only some crossports frayed, is a stabiliser ripped appart, are patches needed, how much, what size and where?! Skydive equipment is highly individual, a simple ok/ not ok form just wouldn't do it imo. ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

A jumping buddy knocked at my door asking wether I need help because he heard me struggling to breath. I showed him your post and this picture, now we are both lying on the floor crying from laughter. That picture is gold!!! I once thought it would be a good idea to fall through some 'industrial haze' before pulling so that I can actually see where I'm going. Ended up pulling at 500m, still in the clouds, googles fogged up, ~300 open and and flying parachute, now finally under the clouds, made a quick 270 from 200m, still half blind, because I thought the green surface under me was the landing area, stopped downwind about 5 meters in front of what I initially though was our gas station but what then came out as a running corn harvester. ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

I have one, no issues... Transcend 64 GB SDXC UHS Class 3 ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends

Nobody expects the latest cam equipment on the head of a guy that survived the Titanic The cx is still popular because it works with a hypeeye and old farts don't like new stuff. About a third of the last 50 tandem students I did video for asked me about the video resolution and if 4k was possible. Also when editing gopro 3+/4BE or the Sony equivalent action cam together with some cx 115 footage the cx just doesn't fit anymore. Since the Hero 2 the video quality from Gopro has surpassed the old cx100-115 line. I personally fell in love with the BOSS system and currently use the AX 53 together with two gopros 3+/4BE for stills and backup, be it RW, tandem or fun jumps. There is quite a number of different setups that work well and produce decent video and stills, even without going the mirrorless/DSLR route. I don't want to tell you what equipment to use, but IMO nowadays for paying tandem students the video standard should be a little higher and more 'recent'

I'm really looking forward to the day the last 115 dies... I mean they're still cool for rw and stuff like that but for a paying tandem student?! It's not 2010 anymore

If you're looking for a velo rds in a suitable size for consistent terminal openings contact Frank at Lookma paraphernalia. He will build the size you need. Fastest and easiest reattachment system IMO, I jumped PD, Icarus and Lookma RDS so far. He also offers to take the slider back if the openings are still not as you desire and build you a new one in an adapted size free of charge. I found the openings of my two VC 84, one with larger sized lookma rds, the other one with PD rds, to be quite moody. Sometimes a whole weekend can pass with only soft and snively openings, 30 jumps in a row. And sometimes every second opening is brisk and makes me wish to win the lottery so that I can buy two Valkyries I pack for myself and try to pack as neatly as possible, maybe that is the problem ;) ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends
